Fit for a Purpose

Does the Anthropic Principle Include Biochemistry?

De: Fazale Rana

Narrado por: Lance Smith

Blaze a new trail of discovery in biochemistry.

Nearly a half a century after the introduction of the idea that humanity lives in a universe at the just-right location, the just-right time, and with the just-right physical constants, the anthropic principle continues to gain acceptance among astronomers and astrophysicists.

Few scientists question the fine-tuning of the numerical quantities that define the universe. But what about the unexplored areas of chemistry and biochemistry? Do we witness an equal amount of evidence for fine-tuning?

In Fit for a Purpose, biochemist Fazale Rana fearlessly pushes the boundaries of the anthropic principle beyond cosmology. In the process, Rana invites the listener to discover the world of chemical and biochemical fine-tuning, as well as to contemplate this question: If the universe is fit for life, and biochemical systems are fit for their role in life, is it possible that everything is “fit for a purpose”?

Excellent in-depth analysis of living systems

I have read about 20 books on Intelligent Design. Many of them have overlapping arguments and information. Fit for a Purpose had the most new information in support of Intelligent Design than I have read in a long time. Very compelling book, and I appreciate that Dr. Rana didn't try to dumb it down. I want that detail even if the jargon is tough sometimes.
